Broad Strokes

What It Is:I recently got an iPad and like most people, am now kind of obsessed with it. I’m also sincerely impressed with the amounts of auxiliary devices you can get to complement your tablet, like this iPad Paintbrush. With the same weight and fluidity of a regular paintbrush, this sophisticated stylus is compatible with painting apps like ASKetch and PIcsART, so you can render digital works of art in charcoal, watercolour or even acrylic paints. Plus, you can also flip it over and have fun handwriting or sketching as you would with a pencil. The digital age is truly upon us…

Who It’s For:Your art student niece or nephew, so they can create on the go between classes. Your mom that’s taking painting classes for fun, as a unique way to extend her talents. Your child that’s showing a propensity for the fine arts, to encourage their creativity instead of goofing off on the iPad.
